Compress a PDF
Make a PDF smaller for email or an upload form. The file stays on this device.
A scanned PDF or a pack of photos can be too large for email or an upload form. Compression builds a smaller PDF you can send, without uploading the original to Free-Utils.
When to compress
Compress a PDF when:
- an email or form rejects the file for size
- you need a lighter copy for chat or classroom upload
- the original is image-heavy and you can accept some softness
Keep the original if you still need the full-quality scan.
Open the PDF compressor
- Open Compress PDF.
- Choose the PDF from your device.
- Keep the tab open while the browser compresses the file.
Size limits
PDFs up to 150 MB on a computer or 100 MB on a phone. On Pro you can pick up to 10 PDFs at once (Plus 25, Business 50).
The PDF is not uploaded.
